No fewer than 8 persons have been
killed in a fresh attack launched on
farmers in Buruku and Udawa
villages of Chikun Local Government
Area of Kaduna State by suspected
bandits.
DAILY POST gathered on Saturday
that the armed men attacked the
victims while they were working in
their farms.
It can be recalled that the two
villages located along Kaduna-Birnin
Gwari highway have been under
constant attacks recently.
When contacted by DAILY POST, the
State Police Public Relations Officer,
ASP Jalige Mohammed, confirmed the
attacks.
He was, however, unable to give
details of the incident, saying the
actual number of deaths cannot be
ascertained at the moment.
“Yes, there was an incident in the
area and some persons were killed.”
“We don’t have the details of the
incident yet but we have sent our
men to the area to gather
information”, he added.
